As compared to the PC6, I find the PC7 generally a nicer package. I have heard of data transfer problems with the PC6, but never experienced it myself. The PC7 is really a nice package. I could see it being around awhile.

This would be a nice option for people trying to match their PC7 to a King BB/Headset/Spacer/Hub combo. Even without a custom etching, the metallic colors of this custom PC clash with anodized parts to a lesser extent than the moulded rubber casings.

As for a PC8, the short-term prospects seem grim. Based on what I've heard, SRM's immediate focus is concentrated on a DA-9000 crankset and a unified version of SRMwin that will run on Macs and PC.

It's also possible that SRM is waiting to see what a Garmin 900 would look like and how quickly Bluetooth Low Energy signal use expands in the bike market. Both of these could have a significant bearing on the feature set of a PC8.

I concur on the PC7. It's a great improvement over the PC6. Apart from adding GPS, as some have stated, I don't see what would be needed to improve on the PC7. Perhaps a licensing deal with Training Peaks to allow them to show NP and TSS on there, but for a pure power measurement monitor, you can't get much better.

Definitely looking forward towards a pc8 and we can all guess as to the cool features they could shove in. All that I know is it's the one power unit I have ever owned where I have had zero issues with it. Straight forward and simple. Not sure I really want more bells and whistles but GPS and some crazy new auto calibration that's fool proof might be all I ever wanted. Wouldn't mind an anodized case though

More configurability, the ability to omit and expand certain numbers on a display screen, and better low/no-light visibility would be a good start. During fast efforts when you're riding around dusk or dawn, it can be like trying to play Tetris on Game Boy, circa 1992.

We also think about making our new product downward compatible so PowerControls for the wired systems can be replaced. Our PowerMeters are very long lasting and also customers who already have a wired version should benefit from our innovations

-Unlikely that SRM will incorporate the old Binder719 plug from PCIV/V/VI into the new PC8.-Therefore they will build a new wiring harness with a MicroUSB connection.-Once there is a universal connecter at the end of the SRM wiring harness, Garmin et al. can incorporate support for wired SRMs

It will be strange to spend twice as much on the headunit than one spends on the cranks (used wired SRMs are cheap).
